Cajun Smokey Catfish, Garlicky Roasted Potatoes & Asparagus with Parmesan & Pepper

Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Survived the food foray of yesterday... slept well and feel much more relaxed today... Had a virtual chat with a friend last night who made fried catfish for supper... she is a fabulous cook and the thought stayed with me all through the night and into today... kept on thinking about that fish and salivating. So today a couple of frozen catfish filets swam out of the freezer and into the kitchen.  Today's supper comprised Cajun style smokey catfish with oven roasted garlicky potatoes and asparagus with Parmesan and pepper...  our appetizer (no photo... we ate it too quickly) was Brie, a few almonds and the rest of the New Zealand Malbec.  All in all a wonderful meal.

Usually Friday night is dinner and a movie, but CBS has revived the Sunday night movie... 8:00pm on your local CBS station... and this week it's going to be, "Indian Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark"... one of our favorites!  So, we have postponed our Friday night ritual until Sunday to enjoy a movie we both love.

A package arrived yesterday and after its 24 hour rest in the front coat room it got opened today.  Inside were a couple of food items ordered over the past week.  Smoked paprika was among them (allowed me to make the catfish recipe) as well as sesame seeds and a bag of almond flour.  Thinking the almond flour was a great value I purchased it without checking the weight... just off the photo... when it arrived... surprise... it wasn't the 12 ounces I was expecting... but 48 ounces!  Now it's an even better buy and it looks like almond cookies, tarts and whatever else pops into view will be on the menu.

What's on your plate tonite? (Photos welcome and appreciated)
